Swansea Ramblers Walk


Dunvant and Three Crosses

28th December 2013

Leader: Rob Johnston




Rob Johnston led a post-Christmas Gower walk through muddy and waterlogged countryside.  The walk was still very enjoyable and the sun came out to warm us.

We had terrific views down the Loughor Estuary and up onto the hills above the M4.  Everyone really enjoyed the day and many discovered a Gower Walk they had never done before.



Swansea Ramblers offer a range of walks for most abilities.

Try an easy walk of 2-3 hours or our longer strenuous mountain walks for the experienced walker.

Maybe you'd like to explore walking for the first time with a friendly group of people?
- Come with Swansea Ramblers!

If you'd like to try a Swansea walk then do come along and find out what the great outdoors is all about.

It won't cost you anything to come along and see if walking is for you.
You'll be very welcome to join us for three free walks.

If you enjoy walking with us and want to come on even more of our walks, just become a member.

When you join us for a Swansea Walk, ask us about the other walks and social events we do.
